Howdy,
  I tried Morphix a while back and at that time, I thought Libranet did
a better job of making Debian easy to install.  I probably ought to try
it again.
  Do you know of any of these Debian based distributions that will
install from a system booted from a floppy?  I have a ThinkPad 560 with
a P133, 40 meg ram and 1.4 gig of hard disk that I would like to try
debian on.  The machine has no CD built in, so I need one that supports
a PCMCIA CD or a net install.   Lately, I have mostly een using SuSE,
but the SuSE installer does not like systems under 96 meg of ram, so I
need something else.  I will bump it to 72 meg of ram when I find the
memory at a good price and that should make it run a little better.
Thanks,
Ralph
